Promises from Trump’s current term (started January 20, 2025) that have not fully materialized as of September 2026
I want the man to win for the future of America but come on.
Is everything that corrupt?
Promises from Trump’s current term (started January 20, 2025) that have not fully materialized as of September 2026:
Wars and foreign policy
•End the Russia-Ukraine war quickly (including the “24 hours” claim)
•Keep the U.S. out of new wars (U.S.-Iran fighting has been ongoing since February 2026)
•Fully resolve the Gaza war on the terms described during the campaign, including a U.S.-led “Riviera” redevelopment
Prices, energy, and the economy
•Cut energy prices in half within 12–18 months
•Bring gasoline under $2 a gallon
•End inflation immediately and bring down the cost of groceries, housing, cars, and “everything”
•Cut home prices in half
•Send $2,000 tariff rebate / “DOGE dividend” checks to households
•Immediately refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
Immigration
•Carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history at the scale often described (about 1 million official removals a year)
•End birthright citizenship
•Fully finish the border wall
Government and elections
•Abolish the Department of Education
•Require national voter ID
•Count all votes by election night
•Create “freedom cities” on federal land
•Impose the highest across-the-board tariffs as originally described (including a 60% China tariff and a broad 10–20% universal tariff without major limits)
•Deliver large, sustained annual spending cuts and a rapidly shrinking federal budget through DOGE-style reforms
Notes
•Several related items did advance: border crossings fell sharply, some tax changes passed (including no tax on tips/overtime/Social Security in enacted legislation), the U.S. withdrew from the Paris Agreement, and initial EV-mandate rollbacks began.
•Many remaining items are blocked by courts, stalled in Congress, only partly implemented, or still “in progress” rather than completed.
